Второй студийный альбом с Аннеке получился менее депрессивным и более лёгким, но по сути он продолжает развивать идеи "Mandylion". В композиционном же плане диск чуть послабее предыдущего, несмотря на кажущуюся разнообразность. Большинство треков - это меланхоличные спокойные песни, которые на "How To Measure A Planet?" будут и вовсе доминировать. Но есть и исключения, это открывающая "On Most Surfaces" - одна из лучших тяжёлых вещей The Gathering, так называемый "festival hit" под названием "Third Chance" - по настроению песня-близнец "Adrenaline" с сингла "Leaves", энергичная и очень нетипичная для курса группы в то время, и спокойная, но выделяющаяся на фоне остальных заглавная "Nighttime Birds". По общему же впечатлению могу сказать, что это самый ровный альбом за всю историю группы, он ничем не удивляет и ничем не разочаровывает, такой стабильности у The Gathering после него ни разу не было, что тоже по-своему хорошо. Альбом однозначно стоит послушать, как и все остальные творения этих голландцев.

"В поисках утраченного аккорда" является третьим альбомом группы "Муди Блюз", выпущенным в '68 году фирмой Deram records. Фактически, альбом стал продолжением удачного эксперимента "Days of Future Passed", только на сей раз музыканты обошлись без симфонического оркестра, а сами стали, в некотором роде, маленьким студийным "симфоническим оркестром", использовав множество экзотических музыкальных инструментов. Меллотрон Майка Пиндера, можно сказать, заменяет весь симфонический оркестр своим неповторимым звучанием, также присутствуют различные флейты, гитары (в том числе и ситар, ставший популярным после применения его Джорджем Харрисоном в "Битлз"), виолончель и различные клавишные инструменты от фортепьяно до клавесина, ну и не забыть надо про таблы, виолончель и арфу.

Heartbeat City is the fifth studio album by American rock band the Cars, released on March 13, 1984, by Elektra Records. The band produced the album with Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
This marks the band's first album not produced by long-time producer Roy Thomas Baker. It also represented a return to the success of the band's self-titled debut album, with critic Robert Christgau noting that "the glossy approach the Cars invented has made this the best year for pure pop in damn near twenty years, and it's only fair that they should return so confidently to form." Numerous tracks from the album received airplay on modern rock and AOR stations, with the singles "Drive" and "You Might Think" reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, while the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200.

After several challenging years of going solo after divorcing Ike, Private Dancer propelled Turner into becoming a viable solo star, as well as one of the most marketable crossover singers in the recording industry. It became a worldwide commercial success, earning multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. To date, it remains her best-selling album in North America. Private Dancer produced seven singles, including "What's Love Got to Do with It", "Better Be Good to Me", "Private Dancer", and "Let's Stay Together". Positively received by critics on release for Turner's ability to give energy and raw emotion to slickly-produced professional pop/rock songs, its long term legacy is that the softening of her raw Southern soul style produced a "landmark" in the "evolution of pop-soul music". The album was promoted throughout 1985 in a 177-date worldwide tour entitled the Private Dancer Tour.

Foreign Affair is the seventh solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released on September 13, 1989 through Capitol Records. It was Turner's third album release after her massively successful global comeback five years earlier, and although the album was not a major success in Turner's native United States, it was a huge international success in Europe. The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, her first number one album there. The album includes the single "The Best" which has gone on to become one of Turner's best-known songs.

Break Every Rule is the sixth solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released September 23, 1986 through Capitol Records. It was the follow-up to Turner's globally successful comeback album, Private Dancer, released two years earlier. Turner nearly scored her second Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit with the lead single "Typical Male," peaking at number two for three consecutive weeks in October 1986. "Two People" and "What You Get Is What You See" also became U.S. Top 30 hits. "Back Where You Started" earned Turner her third consecutive Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female in 1987.

Close to the Bone is the sixth studio album by the British pop group Thompson Twins, released by Arista in March 1987. Now only the duo of Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie remaining, this was the first album the group made without Joe Leeway. It was produced by Bailey and Rupert Hine.
Ending their run of Top 5 albums in the UK, the album was a commercial failure, peaking at number 90 in the UK and failing to yield any hit singles. It fared a little better in the US, peaking at number 76 on the Billboard Top 200, with the single "Get That Love" reaching number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.

1 is a compilation album of the English rock band the Beatles, originally released on 13 November 2000. The album features virtually every number-one single the band achieved in the United Kingdom or United States from 1962 to 1970. Issued on the 30th anniversary of the band's break-up, it was their first compilation available on only one CD. 1 was a commercial success and topped charts worldwide. It has sold over 31 million copies.

Elements of Life is the third studio album by Dutch DJ Tiësto. It was released on 6 April 2007 (see 2007 in music). The album contains collaborations with Jes of Gabriel & Dresden's project Motorcycle, Julie Thompson of Holden & Thompson, Charlotte Martin, Christian Burns, BT and Maxi Jazz of Faithless. BT collaborates with Tiësto for the first time since "Love Comes Again" and Faithless's rapper Maxi Jazz is featuring on "Dance4Life". The album has more tracks featuring vocals than previous albums (excluding the remixed Just Be).

Invaders Must Die is the fifth studio album by English electronic dance music group The Prodigy. The album was released on 23 February 2009 on the band's new record label Take Me to the Hospital, and was distributed by Cooking Vinyl. Although Liam Howlett, Maxim and Keith Flint all contributed material for The Fat of the Land, Invaders Must Die is the first Prodigy record where, given the departure of Leeroy Thornhill, all band members took part in the creative process. It is their first and currently only album to not contain any explicit songs.

FanMail is the third studio album by American girl group TLC, released on February 23, 1999, by LaFace and Arista Records. The album title is a tribute to TLC's fans who sent them fan mail during their hiatus. FanMail debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 318,000 copies in its first week of release, and spent five weeks at number one.

CrazySexyCool is the second studio album by American girl group TLC, released on November 15, 1994, by LaFace and Arista Records. Following the group's record deal, they released their debut album Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip in 1992 to positive reviews and commercial success. The group began working on a follow-up in 1993 but experienced an unproductive recording process due to personal issues, notably those of member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who was struggling with alcoholism and her volatile relationship with football player Andre Rison. The album's recording lasted until September 1994, with Lopes' role diminished while she was in rehab.

After a bad morning with my Uncle, I came home and this CD was ready to listen to. Tony Christie is a great singer. He does an excellent job when he sings “Most Beautiful Girl” (Charlie Rich), “Way We Were” (Gladdis Nite and the Pips), “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” (Righteious brothers) and another Charlie Rich cover, “Daddy Don’t you Walk So Fast”. Tony is best remembered for a Neil Sedaka penned classic, “Is This the Way to Ammarillow”. I also enjoyed songs like “Loss Vagus”, “Drive Home Safely, Darling”, a song about a girl who says her last goodbye and gets killed in a car accident, “I Did what I Did For Maria”, Don’t Go Down to Remo” and “Avenues and Allyways”. It’s a god damn shame this CD is out of print! I think the selection on this particular CD is better than “the Definitive Collection” because Tony’s best work was his 1970’s stuff and the stuff he recorded later on including “Walk Like a Panther”, thankfuly not included here was one of the worst songs of all- time.
